How long it takes to cook a lamb?

Cooking time for lamb depends on the cut, the cooking method, and the desired level of doneness. Here are some general guidelines for cooking lamb:

- Lamb loin chops: 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, 5-6 minutes per side for medium.

- Lamb rib chops: 6-8 minutes per side for medium-rare, 8-10 minutes per side for medium.

- Lamb leg roast (bone-in): 20-25 minutes per pound for medium-rare, 30-35 minutes per pound for medium.

- Lamb shoulder roast (bone-in): 25-30 minutes per pound for medium-rare, 35-40 minutes per pound for medium.

- Lamb stew: 1.5-2 hours, or until the meat is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.

Always use a meat thermometer to ensure that the lamb reaches the desired internal temperature. For medium-rare, the internal temperature should be 135 degrees Fahrenheit. For medium, the internal temperature should be 145 degrees Fahrenheit. For well-done, the internal temperature should be 160 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.

Remember that cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the meat and your desired level of doneness. It's always best to err on the side of caution and cook the lamb until it reaches the desired internal temperature.
